HOW I GOT MY JOB AT ACCENTURE – College | Career Fair, Application, First Round Interview (PART 1)

June 12, 2020June 24, 2020 cwong0102Leave a comment

So many people ask me about a career in technology consulting, and while I can help them out, I think the real question is how to get the job! I talk about my entire hiring process PLUS how I prepared each step. This is a two-part video series because it’s chock full of information and tips. The first part is about the career fair, application process, and first round interview (behavioral). The second part is about the final round interview (case interview and behavioral interview with executives) and exactly why Accenture hired me! Regardless if you’re interested in technology consulting or Accenture, I think these videos would help IMMENSELY as all these tips apply for all job searches regardless what industry or walks of life. I’m sharing this with you because I know Covid-19 has pushed us to these awful times of being laid off and getting your offers rescinded, so hopefully these will get you back on your feet!

My channel focuses on professional development but I also highlight my experience, lifestyle, and insights into a career in technology consulting in hopes to encourage more women to consider this amazing career – especially in STEM!

Any questions at all about the tips I provided or about Accenture or technology consulting, please let me know!

How to TAILOR your RESUME to any COMPANY and JOB LISTING!

June 6, 2020June 24, 2020 cwong0102Leave a comment

The poverty rate in the US is 22% for the Black population (among the highest), so they can’t access the resources and knowledge the privileged can through paid courses or even higher education. I make this information accessible through YouTube on how to improve your chances on getting a better job through tailoring your resume to companies and jobs – a skill most people don’t have! As many are laid off or furloughed due to Covid-19, this resource is great to help you get back up on your feet.

Too many people don’t realize sending the same resume out isn’t effective at all. You’re actually supposed to tailor your resume to each job and company you apply to. If you’re wondering why you didn’t get a call for an interview, this could be the reason why. I know this is a tough time when it comes to job and internship search especially with Covid19, so I filmed this video on how I tailored my resume to land a technology consulting job at Accenture as my first entry level job out of college! Also, to keep it interesting, I created a mock resume of my cat, so that may get you to laugh a little. 😊

WORK WEEK in My Life as a TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT in NYC QUARANTINE (with Cats)!

May 31, 2020June 24, 2020 cwong0102Leave a comment

I hope this video can help give you a clear picture of what a tech consultant does and maybe consider this field for you! I am currently a technology consultant at Accenture in NYC for about two years now, and what better way to go over what exactly do I do them when I’m in quarantine and can actually tell you (and not be judged by people in the office). This video is for you if you are considering in going into tech consulting or consulting! Also, if you like cats, this video is definitely for you because I have two beautiful cats and there will be so much footage of them!

I know this is a long vlog, but I put in an educational segment every day as well for you to learn exactly how it is as a tech consultant. I talk about how a work week in technology consulting is like (in quarantine or working from home), what to expect, and the life that comes around it! Each day will cover each of these segments: how to stand out in a client call as an entry level, how are we and Accenture dealing with COVID-19 Quarantine, work life balance in consulting, differences (and skills needed) in Technology Consulting vs. Management or Strategy Consulting, and lastly, career counselors and performance achievement at Accenture or in the consulting industry.

As we live in NYC, one of the major epicenters of this pandemic, we’re trying to make the most of the situation and hope you are too wherever you are! For me, it has been very similar to how it is when I work remotely but of course some modifications were made since we can’t go outside as freely like to my boxing classes and to minor errands. Make sure to stay at home, stay healthy, stay safe, and wash your hands often! Do this for yourself and for everyone around you. We can do this guys!

If you have any further questions or you’re interested in tech consulting or Accenture, please let me know! In addition, my channel caters mostly to college students and young adults in their 20s that focus on professional development, personal development, consulting, personal finance and NYC lifestyle, so if you’re interested in this, please consider subscribing!
